Motorcyclists with traditional spoke wheels will be interested in this motorcycle spoke wrench set from Laser Tools (part number 8241).
It includes a range of spoke wrench heads plus an adjustable torque wrench allowing wheel spokes to be replaced in accordance with the wheel manufacturer’s specifications and instructions.
Over or under-tightening of spokes can easily lead to excessive radial and lateral runout — always check radial and lateral runout when replacing spokes and set the torque to the manufacturer’s specification.
Eight sizes of spoke wrench head are included (5.6mm to 7.1mm) plus a spline wrench head (anti-theft – also fits some BMW models). The torque wrench is used to tighten the wheel spokes to the correct torque figure and features two torque scales: Nm (newton-metres) and Lb.in (pound-inch). A solid wrench is also included for undoing spokes and initial fitting up. All packed in a blow mould storage case with an EVA foam insert.
Applications include BMW, KTM (6.9mm), Ducati and Excel Rims (6.1, 6.3, 6.5 & 6.7mm, plus spline). The set can be used in conjunction with the Laser Tools Motorcycle Wheel Balancer and Alignment Stand (part number 8236).
